1. First Responder Memorial Garden Marker
On the 20th anniversary of September 11th, we dedicate this memorial garden in remembrance of the heroic first responders and rescue and recovery workers of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
May this garden serve to remind us of those who made the ultimate sacrifice on September 11, 2001, as well as those whose selfless action during the recovery has led to injury, illness, and death long after that tragic day.
We will always honor their memory and vow that we will never forget their sacrifice.
Erected 2021 by Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
